导演阐述 Director’s Statement
有时,我们的爱是压抑的、说不出口的;爱得越深,反而越难说出口。作为一名亚裔酷儿女性,我与主角有相似的影子——她在金钱、生育、失去等现实困境与复杂情感中游走。通过过去、未来、现实与戏剧中的爱与分离,用非常规的情绪叙事与视觉语言,触及被束缚现实里的纯粹情感。整部电影是命中注定的分离与永恒之爱的证明:一次重逢足以唤醒往昔激情,也照见人生遗憾。
“Sometimes, our love is suppressed, unspoken… The deeper the love, the harder it is to express.” This film bears witness to destined separation and eternal love—one reunion can rekindle the past and illuminate regret.
